Proceeding contribution from Kali Mountford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Identity Cards Bill.


Identity Cards Bill

Does the Home Secretary recall that when the Chief Secretary to the Treasury was a Home Office Minister, he told this House that it was absolutely clear that ID cards would start on a voluntary basis, leading to compulsion? Indeed, such statements were made before the general election and therefore must be taken into account as part of the manifesto. Does that not make this House’s position absolutely clear?
